Traces the change in typesetting from 500 year old metal type to photo and computer driven methods. He makes the argument that the letter forms themselves are in a process of evolution. He argues that, whether they are of the 16th or the 20th century, the forms that comprise our alphabet are subject to the same rules of good taste, proportion, and clarity. He provides a step-by-step examination of type-design esthetics. He presents what makes type good or bad, legible or unreadable. Extensively illustrated with both typefaces and line drawings
